The Boston Celtics may not be coming off of their proudest of campaigns, but it still would appear that better days are ahead.
Despite enduring their worst regular-season finish (36-36) since 2014-15 as well as partaking in their first Quarterfinals loss since 2015-16, when it comes to this Cs squad moving forward, there’s a ton left to be excited about.
